Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust Employee Reviews

If you've worked for one NHS trust, they really are all the same. Set salary bands, usually a requirement to work weekends and all the usual benefits in terms of pension and annual leave allowance.

Supportive team

Lovely people, lots of opportunities to work on different projects, flexible working, focus on wellbeing. Usual difficulties at IAPT of complex clients, not enough time in the day and staff burning out.

Good people

CBT Therapist (Current Employee) - Buckinghamshire - 25 October 2023

A lovely team in general and quite laid back compared to other IAPT services although it’s becoming more target driven as of late. It’s a huge service now.

Expert by Experience (Former Employee) - Oxford - 24 January 2023

The forensic service I both received and joined and still help develop is world class. True the usual risk averse culture is likely to kick back against all the rapid changes in service user Involvement. But, this service is pushing boundaries in positive directions which so far have been highly successful.

Pros

Being in a culture which is feels nicely inclusive.

Cons

NHS is poorly paid but is about is not just a job but a calling!

Could do better

HR Administrator (Former Employee) - Oxford, Oxfordshire - 25 November 2022

Lots of positive talk about employee wellbeing and then treat the staff like a number! Staff are overworked and underappreciated. All talk and little action

Very poor Trust to work for

Staff Nurse (Former Employee) - Oxford, Oxfordshire - 14 April 2022

I have worked for this Trust on and off in various roles for about 20 years. There is far too many Managers who have no respect for their staff. A toxic culture of never being listened to no regard for staff very target driven at the detriment of patients and staff alike. Would advise moving into the private sector as at least the pay, hours and benefits are more worthwhile though equally a toxic culture here!

Very poor management

Administrator (Former Employee) - High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire - 17 November 2021

Management refuse to listen to staff so excellent staff leave. No collaboration whatsoever. The 'work smarter, not harder' mantra is an utter joke.Poor induction from over-worked peers. No cohesive line management. Lots of initial paperwork but no follow up with structured induction or training leading to frustration. As a Band 4 administrator, you can expect too much responsibility, including people management, for well less than £25k - madness. If you're in it for the long haul the pension's good - for now.

Pros

Generally nice people.

Cons

Terrible management.

Worst team to eork for

CPN (Former Employee) - Aylesbury Vale, Buckinghamshire - 14 November 2020

New managers that have been promoted to ' fit in' unexpressed and so do not have knowledge and skills to support others. Revolving door team people leave the team all the time due to being unhappy by the way they are treated. Not given an opportunity to be autonomous. Underpinned always

Pros

Team members supportive

Cons

No resources wuth non stop complaints

Boring place to work

Team Administrator (Former Employee) - Raglan House, Oxford - 15 May 2020

Raglan House was an awful place to work. They refer to you as your band especially certain members of management because you're a lower band than themselves. They were patronising and false. Not genuine people at all.

Satisfactory

Nurse (Former Employee) - Oxford, Oxfordshire - 27 April 2020

Nice company but NHS agenda for change does not cover the Oxford living rate so unfortuently I could not afford to continue working without picking up extra shifts onto of full time work.

Bullying Managers!

Coordinator (Former Employee) - Oxfordshire - 5 March 2020

I would not recommend this trust! There’s too many managers that bully and intimidate hardworking staff. Despite raising concerns nothing happens, the trust continues to loose dedicated staff due to incompetence managers. Staff are expected to move and change shifts to cover shifts without being asked.

A good Trust

Nurse (Former Employee) - Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust. - 28 November 2019

Very busy work environment, good L&D support, some opportunities to progress. Some managers are very good whilst one or two are bullies. Workplace culture is generally OK unless you get on the wrong side of one or two managers.
